"Well, slow down there, you've already been basically living with him for ages now, and not only is he not sick of you, but he's removing the possibility of you staying somewhere else. Which means that not only does he love when you stay over, but he wants all you and all of your stuff there with him all day long. Trust me, he's not going to get rid of you now," Poppy says with a roll of her eyes and a smirking grin. I know she's probably right, he wouldn't be thinking about dumping me if he's asked me to move in. Obviously, that means that things are moving in a positive direction.
"You're probably right, it's just a big step. You know how I get nervous about this sort of stuff," I let out a sigh of my own, the lesson before us having been completely abandoned. I'm sure I can read the lecture notes online after class to see if I missed anything important.
"Well, you should probably start getting used to that sort of stuff. My prediction is that in a year from now you'll be flaunting some big rock on your hand that will weigh you down when you walk," Poppy flutters her hand dramatically, she thinks I'm going to be engaged in a year. Yes, things between Rhodes and me may be moving fast, but damn, not that fast!
"You think I'm going to be engaged in a year? Are you out of your mind?" I whisper-shout to her, her ecstatic grin shows me that she's very excited at the hypothetical thought of an engagement.
"Without a doubt. You know me, I'm kind of psychic. Just don't let him convince you to have the wedding at one of his hotels, he can get that for free and yes, it's beautiful but I have two words for you: Destination Wedding. Bora Bora is so beautiful, you could get married on the beach, you could fly everyone out there, it would be amazing," she replies dreamily.
"Yeah, you save that for your future wedding, I'm not even thinking about that sort of thing because it is so not in my immediate future," I reply quickly. Six months ago I didn't even know this man existed, I don't plan on marrying him within a year of meeting him. I also didn't plan on moving in with a man, really ever. There is so much about my life right now that I would have never thought would happen. I guess that's how life goes sometimes.
"Just don't forget about me when you become Mrs. Whitlock and have all of your fancy society friends," she giggles and then sighs triumphantly as the lecturer announces the end of the class. "Thank fucking Jesus, let's get out of here."
I quickly pack up my things and we walk out together, carried by the waves of the other students eager to leave this place behind for the next couple of weeks.
